Oxendean Burn enclosure cropmark (Cornhill-on-Tweed)

Possible palisaded enclosure. A sub-circular enclosure is defined by a very narrow ditch, possible palisade. Visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. (1)

An Iron Age enclosure is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs at NT 8844 4130.

The perimeter of this sub-circular enclosure is visible as a narrow and discontinuous mark in the crop. This may indicate a palisade trench or could just be a poorly developed cropmark. The enclosure is 47m in diameter and its internal area is 0.17 hectares. It sits near the top of a small hill facing to the north-east. (2a)
